The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;

This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.

This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.

ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.

Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all wealth.

I delight myself in thy statutes; I will not forget thy word.

I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.

Princes also did sit and talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.

I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Make me to walk in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;

And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.

I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.

Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.

They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.

I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.

Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.

CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.

How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.

Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

I have seen an end of all perfection: thy commandment is exceeding broad.

My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.

Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

Establish my steps in thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Thou hast commanded thy testimonies in righteousness and exceeding faithfulness.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.

I anticipate the morning-dawn and I cry: I hope in thy word.

Mine eyes anticipate the night-watches, that I may meditate in thy word.

SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

I have joy in thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.

My lips shall pour forth praise when thou hast taught me thy statutes.

{A Song of degrees.} In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

{A Song of degrees.} Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

{A Song of degrees.} They that confide in Jehovah are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved; it abideth for ever.

Do good, O Jehovah, unto the good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

{A Song of degrees.} When Jehovah turned the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Turn our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the south.

They that sow in tears shall reap with rejoicing:

{A Song of degrees. Of Solomon.} Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth in vain:

It is vain for you to rise up early, to lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth sleep.

Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, and the fruit of the womb a reward.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

Happy is the man that hath filled his quiver with them. They shall not be ashamed when they speak with enemies in the gate.

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!

I wait for Jehovah; my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, because with Jehovah there is loving-kindness, and with him is plenteous redemption;

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} Jehovah, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, and in things too wonderful for me.

Let Israel hope in Jehovah, from henceforth and for evermore.

How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

Until I find out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

Jehovah hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it: Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne;

{A Song of degrees. Of David.} Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

As the dew of Hermon that descendeth on the mountains of Zion; for there hath Jehovah commanded the blessing, life for evermore.

{A Song of degrees.} Behold, bless Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, who by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless Jehovah.

Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

They that make them are like unto them, every one that confideth in them.

To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

And gave their land for an inheritance, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

An inheritance unto Israel his servant, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever:

Who hath remembered us in our low estate, for his loving-kindness endureth for ever;

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down; yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail required mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

In the day when I called thou answeredst me; thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.
